In this new world ruled by gates and ranks, strength decided everything.
And in that world… everyone knew one name.
Arin Solis.
But not for greatness.
For weakness.
He was known as the weakest adventurer of mankind—an F-rank with no combat ability, no talent, and no future. Among hunters, he wasn't even treated as one of them. At best, he was a carrier, someone who entered low-rank gates only to carry equipment, collect scraps, and survive on whatever little money he could earn.
People mocked him.
Ignored him.
Forgot him.
To them, Arin Solis was nothing.
He lived alone in a rundown house, hidden deep within the darker parts of the city where no one cared to look. The walls were cracked, the lights barely worked, and silence filled the space like a constant reminder of his existence.
No family.
No support.
No purpose.
Or at least… that's what everyone believed.
Because the truth—
Was something else entirely.
Arin Solis was never abandoned.
He was being watched.
From the very beginning.
Unknown to the world, one of the most powerful guild leaders alive… was none other than his father.
An S-Rank hunter.
Not just any S-rank—
A National-Level S-Rank, a title given only to those who had surpassed the limits of ordinary power.
His mother was an A-Rank elite hunter, respected across the country.
His sister… also an A-Rank prodigy, known for her unmatched potential.
Together, they stood at the top of the world.
And yet—
They chose to stay away.
Not out of hatred.
Not out of neglect.
But because they knew something…
Something about Arin.
Something about the future.
In this country, power was divided among six dominant guilds—the pillars that controlled almost every gate, every mission, and every hunter:
👑 Astra Dominion – The symbol of authority and order 🌑 Obsidian Veil – Masters of secrecy and silent operations 🔥 Inferno Pact – A guild driven by raw power and destruction ⚡ Stormbreak Legion – Tactical elites with unmatched speed 🧬 Eclipse Syndicate – Researchers of strange and unknown abilities 🌌 Celestial Axis – A guild deeply connected to ancient knowledge
Each guild was led by an S-Rank hunter.
Each one is powerful enough to change the fate of a nation.
But even among them—
Arin's father stood above.
Years ago, before the current system was fully understood, a disaster struck that changed everything.
A massive portal appeared in Antarctica.
At first, it went unnoticed.
By the time it was discovered…
It was already too late.
The gate had broken.
What came out of it… was not normal.
Beasts that could walk, fly, and swim.
Creatures that adapted to any environment.
Monsters far beyond what humanity had ever faced.
Even though it was classified as an S-Rank gate, it was clear—
It was something far worse.
Entire hunter teams were wiped out.
Even a full B-Rank party could barely defeat a single creature.
Humanity was pushed to the edge.
Then, something unexpected happened.
A few S-Rank hunters… evolved.
Their powers surged beyond their limits, as if something had awakened within them.
With that sudden boost, they managed to defeat the core of the disaster—the boss of the broken gate.
That moment marked history.
Those hunters were given a new title:
National-Level S-Rank.
Beings who stood above all others.
This event became known as:
The G-Rank Calamity(The God-Given Disaster)
But even after surviving such destruction…
Questions remained.
Questions no one could answer.
Ancient records, long forgotten, began to resurface.
They spoke of a time before the gates.
A time when humanity—or something like it—was far stronger.
Stronger than the calamity itself.
To them, such disasters were… ordinary.
Easy.
Which led to a terrifying mystery:
If power like that existed in the past…
If gates, or something similar, were already known…
Then why—
Why did the "Masters" descend only now?
Why give humanity these powers again?
Why create a system that feels less like a gift…
And more like a test?
And most importantly—
Where does Arin Solis stand in all of this?
